Therhas always been widespread ten
dency believe in lucky numbers Even
humble are said to be wlucky because they
can bdivided by two, thereby denoting
death al dissolution. The number seven is
consid@d lucky number, because hu-
man bog sheds his teeth at seven, becomes
youtbt twice seven, a man at three times
seven sd reaches his grand climacteric at
nine ules seven. Careful farmers wives
will nfer set q hen On an even number of
eggs, ecause a hen IS too superstitious to
hatchu ut an even number. Three is also a
luckynumber, and to sit at three-sided
tablet a sure harbinger of fortune.
If se wishes to know all $he vagaries that
can INDUCED about numbers they should
visit "policy shop and study the methods
| of I'll players. As nearly everybody knows
| thatnteresting game as played in Chicago
| turf upon the drawings of some one of the
KeIucky or Colorado lotteries. Twice a
| day there are drawings at Frankfort or
a., Comgton of thirteen numbers out of q
| thaolayer gueSses one, two or three of these
! nlbers he is entitled TO an amount OF
mhey reaching from fivefold to two hun
| dplfold the amount he has stalIed. Mum
be then form the constant thought of the
pScy player, and all the passing accidents
| all incidents of the day are of interest t.
| hin only as they give him a clew to lucky
| nknber The dream book is his constant
| cmpanion, for that ingenious work fur
| nshes numbers to correspond with all the
| widest fancies of dreamland, and if he cal
| oily strike the right numbers the purse o.
| Brtunatus will be surely his And so the
| distant chatter of the policy shop is con
| drning luck and lucky numbers.
| Many odd incidents are related abou
| lucky numbers in the lottery. A grocer il
| Lnaon bought four consecutive numbers
| Feering this would be unmcky he exchanged
one Ct them and the rejected number turned
out to e a large prize. Charles Lamb tell
| a storyof a gentleman who had purchased
No. 100. Passing lottery office he saw 1
| placari announcing that that number haC
drawn 100000 He took long walk t.
cool hs agitation before entering the office
On gong back he found that be had mis-
takenl0,0 69 for 1,069. q.
In lie lives of all successful men there ha
undoubtedly been a large element of chance
or lu&, but if the matter be carefully looked
at it ill be found that they had the abilit,
| or reburces to profit by what chance hat
broulht to them. 1t was not because tn
applffell on Newton's head that he discov
eredlthe laws of gravitation, but the Incl
dentimply called his attention to problem
he I'D the ability TO solve. Lord Erskine
the eerless English advocate, was called 1
lucl4 man because in his very first case HI
mad widespread sensation and retainer
Immediately crowded upon him thick anC
fast But if he had not had the ability K
mak the sensational speech the chance of
ferd to him would have amounted to moth
ing, Chance happens to everybody, and I
cerhin amount of good fortune falls to tn
lot IF all in very equal proportions 1t come
cary or it comes late, but the difference i
thai one man can profit by it and anothe
cannot.
